Default Continuous beeping

I keep hearing the beeping noise from inside the car when I turn the car off. It does not stop when i take the key out of the ignition or lock the car. It goes four hours. Why isn't it stopping?

well not a vast description but, i can tell u that if u have the factory remote to lock ur doors and u leave ur door a bit cracked open it will beep non stop till u push it closed completely.(damn that was a run on sentence)... if ur closing ur door fully, it might mean the switch that gets pressed in wen u close the door is broken.

Sorry for the short/vague description. I had made that post from my phone.

Anyhow, the beep is the same one you hear when leaving the key in the ignition on ACC with the door open.

I checked and rechecked all doors(duh), the trunk and the sunroof.

It seems like the car is not regonizing that the key is out of the igntion nor that the door is closed. Sometimes the dome lights would come on and off while driving.

For a temporary fix, i pulled the dome fuse out. No more beeping but i don't have power locks and of course keyless entry. With the key out of the ignition, all doors closed and locked, the beeping still continues if i replace the dome fuse.

It is possible that it could be the door sensor. Where exactly is the door sensor located?

From what i've heard about the sunroof beep, this is not the same. Also I have 97 and from what i've read, that feature was discontinued.

I will probably just disconnect the speaker making the beep.

dont quote me on this, but it should be one the front part of the door closest to the dash.. where the door and body of car come in contact.

Anyone know where the speaker is that creates the key in the ignition beep? I looked under the dash and could not see it. I'm still having the beeping issue.

Yes. There's a relay in the driver's side area near the fuse box by the dead pedal. The relay was labeled "Relay Integration" if i remember correctly. I replaced mine with one I bought on ebay and that fixed the problem. It's a light green/bluish unit.
